New Delhi: Congress leader Rashid Alvi Sunday asserted that party vice president Rahul Gandhi did not insult Prime Minister Manmohan Singh when he spoke against a proposed ordinance aimed at shielding convicted lawmakers which had been approved by the union cabinet.
The assertion came after remarks made by Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi, prime ministerial candidate of the Bharatiya Janata Party for the 2014 general elections, at the "Vikas Rally" in the national capital Sunday that Rahul Gandhi had insulted the nation's prime minister, and termed the matter a struggle between dynasty and democracy.
"Rahul Gandhi did not say anything against the prime minister. He only expressed his view on the ordinance," Alvi told reporters.
"But Narendra Modi is expert in spoiling a situation. I have an humble observation -- so much greed for power and the prime minister's post is not good," Alvi said.
